Jan 13, 2009 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a nice rich amber with a fairly fat off-white head and good lacing. Aromas of various hops, floral, pine, and citrus make this a delight for nose. Mouthfeel smooth and a bit oily. Favor is well balanced between malts and hops and there is a nice bitter finish. A very good IPA.

Dec 24, 2008 22oz bottle. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of floral hops, some citrus, and pine. Tastes of citrus, earthiness, floral, and some maltiness. Light to medium bitter with a lighter sweetness. Light lacing left on the glass.

Oct 19, 2008 Don’t really have much to add here except that I was shocked to find myself enjoying an organic beer this much. Very piney and smooth on the way down, I could drink a whole bunch of these in one sitting. If only all organics were created equal...

Sep 30, 2008 Solid aroma of pine needles, oranges and malt. Pours a cloudy amber color with a thin white head. Good flavor of piney, citrusy hops with a competent malt back-bone and some bitterness in the end. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and gentle carbonation. This is a very pleasant IPA.

Sep 14, 2008 22 oz bottle via Liquid SOl. Pours a clear reddish amber with a large beige head. Nose is subdued but a nice floral/citrus aroma. The taste has a very nice hop profile..a perfect balance between grapefruit, orange, pepper, and a little earthiness with just the right amount of hoppiness carrying through. Carbonation is just right, body is perfect. Damned good beer.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle from Market of Choice in Ashland, OR. Poured a copper color with a the aroma of citrus hops. Not being a big fan of overly hoppy IPA’s this one instantly became one of my favorites in the genre. The malt backbone balances the citrus hops almost perfectly. Great for just an regular IPA.

Sep 2, 2008 From Market of Choice in Ashland, OR. Usually, organics just aren’t good, but this one had great flavor and a palate to boot. It was fuller in body than most IPAs (reminding me a little of TF Dreadnaught), although the hops were more citrusy than bitter pine. I actually loved this one for what it was: a very good, malty IPA.

Aug 19, 2008 nice looking IPA, does not live up to expectations. super soapy and citrusy with a strange spice and mintgrass conponent. very resiny and chewy but without a decent malt character to balance the extreme hop pine and citrus. its hoppy alright, but not in a good way.
